3. Make sure that the unit is disconnected from power and the wheels are locked.
4. Release the three (3) latches on the tank filler access lid, and open the lid. Be careful of the lid hinges and latches so as to avoid pinching your hands or fingers.
5. Unscrew the tank filler cap and fill the tank. Use only Atmosity Premium Snow Fluid (APS-2L, APS-4L, APS-20L, APS-200L) as specified by the manufacturer. Use of other, non-approved fluids could severely damage your device.

DMX CHANNEL FUNCTIONS & VALUES

TROUBLESHOOTING

If you experience low output, pump noise, or no snow output at all, disconnect and discontinue use immediately. Do not attempt to continue to operate as this may damage the machine. Check the fluid level, the breaker, and be sure the wall outlet is sending power. If all of the above appears to be okay,
and the unit fails to operate correctly, the unit will require service. Please contact Magmatic Effects.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

When storing your snow machine be sure to store it in a cool area. Cover the machine so that dust does not build up on the unit. When storing the machine for long periods of time, it is highly advised to at least run the machine every 2-3 months. Long periods of inactivity can severely shorten the life of your machine. Only run Atmosity Premium Snow Fluid through your machine. NEVER run any other liquid solution through your machine. Running anything other then water-based SNOW fluid will severely damage your machine.
